On my way to the Col de Bavella via Solrenzara. Nice warm-up. The descent to Favone doesn't have a good surface. If this climb were in my region, I'd give it 5 stars without hesitation, but here, compared with other climbs, I'd give it 3. I found the climb fairly easy and regular. On the profile, there's one passage at 11%, a slightly steep but very short exit from a bend.... read more

Sur mon parcours pour aller au col de Bavella par Solrenzara. Belle mise en jambes. La descente vers Favone ne bénéficie pas d’un bon revêtement. Si cette côte était dans ma région je mettrais 5 étoiles sans hésiter mais ici en comparaison des autres côtes j’en mets 3. J’ai trouvé la montée assez facile et régulière. Sur le profil il y a un passage à 11% il s’agit d’une sortie de virage un peu raide mais très courte.

A nice climb to end my lap Col de Bavella from Solenzara via Lake Espedale as it goes along a typical narrow mountain road to a nice Corsican village of Conca. Then descend to Favone via an occasionally quite steep rough tarmac road that is nevertheless passable. You end up on the RT10 from where it's another 10km or so of cycling along this busy road to Solenzara with a few short bumps of 5-6 per cent. In my case, thunderstorms erupted and I arrived soaked at the flat where I was welcomed with applause by my family from the dry balcony. Nice homecoming! Unfortunately, no photos've been taken.

Een leuke klim om mijn ronde Col de Bavella vanuit Solenzara via het Espedale meer mee af te sluiten omdat het gaat over een typisch smal bergweggetje naar een aardig Corsicaans dorpje Conca. Daarna afdalen naar Favone via een af en toe vrij steile grove asfaltweg die desondanks goed begaanbaar is. Je komt uit op de RT10 vanwaar het nog ongeveer 10km langs deze drukke weg fietsen is naar Solenzara met enkele korte bultjes van 5-6 procent. In mijn geval barstte het onweer los en kwam ik doorweekt aan bij het appartement waar ik met applaus ontvangen werd door mijn gezin vanaf het droge balkon. Leuke thuiskomst! Helaas geen foto's gemaakt.

Small roads and quick changes of gradient so didn't really get into a rhythm.
